Listen "Animating the Stack with Sam Rose"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is stacked with information. You could even say “full stacked.” Sam has built and run some large scale systems as a SRE at Google, now building backend services at Budibase, and he spends his free time teaching others how systems work at understandable scale. We dive into what makes Google SRE different from other companies, what it’s like to be a parent, and how Sam got started with building animations for his blog. Don’t forget to visit and check out the easter eggs he’s hidden throughout.Show Highlights0:00 - Intro2:00 - Sam’s background6:00 - How Google did SRE15:00 - Importance of docs19:00 - The problems with Java26:00 - Budibase32:00 - Borg vs Kubernetes 39:00 - Building animations46:00 - Being a better teacher56:00 - Art in the age of AI1:00:00 - What’s nextLinks ReferencedSRE book https://sre.google/books/Sam’s Blog https://samwho.dev/Budibase - https://budibase.com/Bartosz Ciechanowski’s website - https://ciechanow.ski/Life Animated book - https://www.amazon.com/Life-Animated-Sidekicks-Heroes-Autism/dp/1484741234Andy Matuschak’s website - https://andymatuschak.org/Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) - https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22xSponsorThe sponsor for this week is YOU!Please share and rate this episode!https://fafo.fm/sponsor
